What does the term 'slow car' mean online?
1 Answers
In online discussions, the term 'slow car' refers to vehicles that respond very slowly when starting or accelerating. This can be due to factors related to the car itself as well as the driver's skills. Engine and vehicle weight impact starting and acceleration: The engine's specific power affects the vehicle's acceleration performance and fuel consumption, while torque represents the vehicle's instant acceleration capability. Additionally, the vehicle's weight significantly influences starting and acceleration. Generally speaking, the higher the specific power, the greater the torque, and the lighter the vehicle, the quicker the car will start and accelerate. Driving techniques affect vehicle starting and acceleration: For manual transmission cars, drivers can achieve a quick start by pressing the accelerator while releasing the clutch. For automatic transmission cars, using the S (Sport) mode can facilitate a faster start.
